Call me crazy, but to tell you the truth, I liked this one. I thought it was fun. There was a lack of speed, but the darkness made up for it. I had a lot of fun on it. The line for it was horrible though--waited like an hour in blistering heat to get on it. And then we had to wait because somebody actually threw up in one of the cars. WIMP

UPDATE: I have gone on this a few times this season, and have barely waited each time. I have found that the first drop is pretty steep and you get a fair amount of air in the back few cars. However, it is barely pitch black anymore and they are not running any effects and you can actually see the whole track when waiting to get back into the station. Pretty sad.

I have to agree with SLFAKE, good premise, boring ride. As everyone has said before, the line is just way too long. And it feels like a fire trap. The huge skull is definitly cool and so is the mountain, but the ride is way too short and doesnt offer enough. Maybe if you busted out the side of the mountain once or twice...hmmm...

Good premise, kind of a boring ride. Not terrible... but not all that memorable either.

I know its a dark ride, but a little light, or some kind of lighting effect would have made it a bit more enjoyable.

i avoided the long line everyone talks about so im still pretty happy. on to the ride. wow is this lame its just dark, i see no theming no small lights nothing. then we wait to unload and i see like one lame looking pirate statue, we also wait way to long to unload a theme that is to be repeated. next up batman and theyre always good.

An okayindoor coaster. The first drop takes you by complete surprise if you sit in the back, and makes your stomach flip if you have your hands up at that point. Even so, if there is any sort of line just keep on walking, it isnt worth your time.

Not worth even a 10 minute wait. The dark is Cool but the coaster is not good at all.

Short and kind of boring. It will throw you around a bit too. Its fine for little kids looking to go on their first or second coaster, but otherwise its not worth a ride. Just go on Nitro, almost next door, if youre looking for a better ride (Nitro will probaly have shorter lines!). Being in the dark certainly enhanced the experience, and the first drop was pretty good, but the rest of the ride just throws you around with turns and stuff. Nothing special here unless youre a huge junior coaster fan.

I liked this coaster, probably to an emberassing degree. I sat with this little dude who just loved the ride, and I think that made me way more excited. That first drop was quite exciting.

I think this ride shows of six flags inability to theme rides. They only bothered to cover hlaf of the ride building with rock, the inside of the mountian is just made up of long black theatrical curtains and you can see the trains during the circuit form the station. I wish they wernt so lame at theming.

Almost good, except it was missing one crucial thing, speed. I was very disapointed. But it could have some themeing. It looked like a carnival ride!
